About ScanDir

ScanDir is a computer program designed for desktop PC's with a Microsoft Windows operating system. It's primary purpose is to assist in file
and folder management. Use the search argument to find files and/or folders with specific characteristics. The files and folders found are
presented in a search result list (item list). The search results can be exported to a text file, printed or used to Delete, Copy, Move or Rename.

ScanDir 1.3.3 - Release Notes

This update of ScanDir contains fixes for known problems in previous versions and one major change compared to version 1.3.2: the drive selection box
has been removed and all drives are now grouped under 'This PC' in the directory tree.

The main advantage of this new tree structure is that all connected PC drives can be scanned at once. A potential disadvantage is that some operations may take
longer to complete. For more information check: Performance.

Important notes
Use the directory context menu (right-click in Dir.Tree) to access the directory tree:

Scan: start Scan from selected directory. When 'This PC' is selected, all folders on all drives are scanned. *WARNING* 'Scan: This PC' may last VERY long!

Refresh: Rebuild the directory tree from the selected directory. Changes in the folder structure made by other programs become visible.

Expand all: Expand all folders under the selected directory. *WARNING* 'Expand all' for 'This PC' may take up to half an hour.

For the longer term, ScanTFS is planned. ScanTFS will be based on the code of ScanDir Version 1.3.3
(which will remain supported for the time beeing).
Less often used functions (e.g. Join/Split and Print) from ScanDir will be removed. Internal processing will be
optimezed and the user interface will be updated.
